[TRNSYS-users] Type 534 invalid floating point operation

[David Bradley]

Jens,
  My guess is that you may need to look at the section of Type534 
that reserves space in the global output and storage arrays. Space is 
reserved in the OUT() array by setting INFO(6) and then calling 
TYPECK() at the start of the simulation. Space is reserved in the 
global storage array by calling the SetStorageSize() subroutine. The 
problems that you describe sounds like what happens when one 
component overwrites the outputs of another.
Kind regards,
  David
